Father Salim Khan opens up about Salman-SRK's make-up

While
the media has been buzzing with the news of patch up between the two superstars
of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, Slim Khan – the father of Salman
refuses to give it much importance. He said that their differences were blown
out of proportion and now the media frenzy is attaching undue importance to the
patch up. This does not solve the national problems and should not be given
much weightage.
Shah
Rukh and Salman patched up their long standing differences with a hug and a
hand shake on the iftaar party on Sunday evening. Salim says that he is proud
that his son had made the first move. “I am happy that my son has taken the
initiative. It was a sensible thing to do and a much-needed gesture and Shah
Rukh reciprocated.” However, Salim is not willing to speculate why the patch up
occurred. “They both are self-respecting people. They must have decided to put
aside their ego instead of thinking about what hurt them. Maybe they felt
foolish behaving in a childish manner and instead decided to behave like mature
adults on that day. Media should be talking on much more important issues than
this,” he said.
Even
before this famed make up, Shah Rukh had always been respectful to senior Khan
and had cordial relations with his other children.
However,
Khan feels that the media is focusing needless attention on this issue.
“Please don’t give so much importance to it. There are disagreements
between miyaan-biwi,neighbours, society and so many
other individuals. They (Salman and Shah Rukh) are actors and rivals. Inke
problems hote hain aur solve bhi ho jaate hain. I have always maintained that
there can never be any love between any two big stars, only courtesy. It is not
possible for big stars to love each other. Even stars like Raj Kapoor, Dev
Anand and Dilip Kumar were just courteous to each other. Salman and Shah
Rukh must have decided to be mature and courteous and that is something that
must be maintained.”
“Just
because they patched up it’s not as if the country’s problems will get solved,
no? They hugged each other lekin isse Uttarakhand mein jo ho raha hai,ya Kashmir mein, those
problems won’t get solved. Kaande ka bhav toh nahi girega na? The
disagreements between stars are not national problems as the media is making it
out to be,” said Khan.
